    OverDrive & Libby

    Borrow ebooks and digital audiobooks from your computer or most smartphones and tablets through OverDrive's Libby app, Sno-Isle's OverDrive website, or the library's catalog. Note: While you can borrow ebooks and digital audiobooks from the library's catalog, the catalog does not support downloading EPUB, PDF, or MP3 formats.

    See Getting Started With Ebooks to learn more, or find help topics at OverDrive Help.

    Use the “Notify Me” smart tag in Libby to express interest in titles not currently in the collection. When you tag a title with “Notify Me,” your interest in the title is shared with Sno-Isle Libraries and any of your other saved libraries. If the title is purchased, you will receive a notification and have the option to borrow or place the title on hold.

    Both Libby and OverDrive carry a selection of Kindle-compatible ebooks. Kindle books are automatically returned to your library at the end of their lending periods. If you finish a Kindle book before its due date, you can return it on Amazon's website, on your Kindle ereader, or from the Kindle app.
